If the Sonics could balance it out with some defenders (shot blocker or perimeter defenders?) to make up for his suspect D, the Sonics could be okay. Mayo could also be another option, and can D up, but will take questionable shots from time to time, but also can really score. So whoever the Sonics take at 4 hopefully will be really good. I'd really hope for either Bayless or Mayo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-53106721973361654982008-05-28T14:51:00.000-07:002008-05-28T14:51:00.000-07:00How can someone so athletic not be able to play D?...How can someone so athletic not be able to play D? That's always disappointing. If for some reason we can't get Mayo, I'd be very upset. He clearly rounds out the top three in my mind.CLantermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447309416733687861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-63728000172179191402008-05-28T11:00:00.000-07:002008-05-28T11:00:00.000-07:00Bayless, a thinking man's Monta Ellis. If you want...Bayless, a thinking man's Monta Ellis. If you want to see the type of player that Bayless will become look no further than to #8 for the Golden State Warriors.<BR/><BR/>AK is right on about what Bayless' flaws are. I'd argue that his "play making" ability is solid but his ball distribution is questionable. Personally, I'd rather gamble on Westbrooke.mcwalter44https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565716498050495890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-35344731433155098512008-05-27T22:25:00.000-07:002008-05-27T22:25:00.000-07:00It makes sense that the Bulls/Sonics would deal Wa...It makes sense that the Bulls/Sonics would deal Watson/filler for Hinrich if for nothing else that Hinrich needs a fresh start, and that Bayless needs time to develop. Plus it would help the Sonics move a frontcourt player to allow Durant to move back to his natural position. Why aren't more people not understanding that Durant is not a SG?pookeyguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187341766325553709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-5454954067174566872008-05-27T15:23:00.000-07:002008-05-27T15:23:00.000-07:00Presti is full of sh*t.Because Bayless can't play ...Presti is full of sh*t.<BR/><BR/>Because Bayless can't play a lick of D.<BR/><BR/>-WeezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-5451626380957103042008-05-27T15:22:00.000-07:002008-05-27T15:22:00.000-07:00Keep Ridnour and trade Watson.-WeezKeep Ridnour and trade Watson.<BR/><BR/>-WeezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-55201016968644451642008-05-27T12:50:00.000-07:002008-05-27T12:50:00.000-07:00With Jerryd Bayless reportedly being Sam Presti's ...With Jerryd Bayless reportedly being Sam Presti's main target, the Seattle SuperSonics might need to make some major moves.<BR/><BR/>Unless Presti can obtain a point guard who's got the size and strength to adequately defend opposing shooting guards (e.g., Kirk Hinrich), then Bayless' flaws -- which are undeveloped playmaking skills and subpar defense -- will be exploited each and every game.<BR/><BR/>All in all, Bayless' overall quickness, smooth mid-range jumper, and tenacity at driving to the basket are definitely positive traits; nonetheless, those aforementioned drawbacks of his concern me more than anything.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, the Sonics should have nothing to do with Alexis Ajinca, Kosta Koufos, or Serge Ibaka. I'm sick and tired of this goddamn franchise taking huge risks with unproven foreign prospects.AK1984noreply@blogger.com
